Fairy Tail Reform School

Good People

I walked back down to Gajeel, and a few rows before I reached them Levy came running up, she grabbed my arm and pulled me down to where Gajeel and her were sitting.

"Is it true?!    Is it true?!"   She exclaimed and I looked at her quizzically.

"Is what true?"

"Is it true that you love to read?!"   My face lit up to mirror her expression.

"Yes!   I found a really good one in the library yesterday!"

"What is it?!"

"It explains the true origins of Fairy Tales, they were so dark and gruesome!"

"I know!   What's your favorite?   Mines Beauty and the Beast!"   I giggled.

"Mine too!   The Disney version is REALLY romanticized, but that library!   I'd fall for any guy with that library right then and there!"   She squealed, almost falling backward.

"I know!   It's HEAVEN!"

"I've killed for less.   If someone offered me a third of it I'd do anything!"   We chattered on and on about books, and we somehow got on the subject of music.

"Actually, we're a band."

"Really?   What's your part?"

"Back up singer and keyboard.   Do you have musical talent?"

"Before I was put in solitary my fellow inmates used to listen to me sing.   I don't know if they were being nice because I was so scary, or if I was actually good."   I chuckled.

"Let's find out!   Guy's, Music room!   Now!"   Levy shouted, dragging me out of the stadium, to a large, sound-proofed room, filled with instruments.   Everyone soon followed.   People went to instruments, and Levy assigned Erza to back up.   Apparently, she was usually lead.   I walked over to a box filled with papers and found what I was looking for.   I handed everyone their music and went up to the microphone, I knew this one by heart.

At the end, they all looked at me.   Levy ran to me, giving me a hug.

"That was AWESOME!"   She jumped up and down excitedly.   There were nods of agreement.

"I have to agree with Levy, you're quite good."

"Oh, when I was younger I played the saxophone.   I wasn't allowed to have on in jail, though."   I said, and Levy dragged me away again.   This time, we ended up at a music store.   Levy grabbed a saxophone, some reeds, and other necessities, left some fake money on the counter, and dragged me back to the music room.

"Okay!   We're back!   She's going to play the saxophone!"   She announced once we were through the door.

"Um, about that.   I might've been in there for years.   I'm not sure that this'll go well."

"Try,"   Levy said sternly.

"Sorry for any sour notes,"   I apologized ahead of time, putting it together.

~##-##~

Yeah, it didn't go well.

"See, Levy.   I'm out of practice.   I need time before I can play well again."   I said.

"Okay!   Three months, and then you have to play it with us again!"  

"Looks like I'll be in here a lot,"   I grumbled.   We walked out of the music room, each of us going out separate ways.   Levy, Gajeel, and I went to the library.   Levy and I read while Gajeel looked over our shoulders, trying to figure out what was happening in our books.   We read for hours, Gajeel left before us, saying something about being bored.

Before long it was dark, and Levy and I left.   She was on the floor beneath me, because she hacked into top-secret government files.

"What'd you do?"   I asked.

"I hacked the government."

"How?"

"I had a knack for it, and I needed to find out something."

"How'd you know how?"

"I was a normal high school student, and I was forced into a coding class, I found out I had a talent, and started to challenge myself, complex codes, hacking the school's systems.   And then someone went missing, someone important, and I hacked the government, thinking that I might be able to figure it out."

"Did you find it out?"   I asked.

"Yeah, and don't worry.   Your secret's safe with me, Lady Anastasia Heartfilia."   She winked at me, leaving me astonished as she left me in the elevator.

I replayed the memory over and over in my head as I fell asleep.   She knew, and she promised not to tell.   I smiled at the thought of good people in the world.   A tear slipped out of my eye as I thought about the only good person I knew before them, my sister.   Lucy Heartfilia.   Oh, how I wish she's okay, and that she NEVER ends up here.
